With the win, Memphis closed the regular season with an 18-11 overall record and a 12-6 league mark. The Tigers secures the No. 4 seed in this weekend's American Athletic Conference Tournament and faces No. 5 seed Tulane. The No. 4-No. 5 seed quarterfinal game is set for Saturday, Mar. 5 at 11 a.m. (CT).
